    surgical technique to stretch scalp skin for hair restoration

    Scalp expansion is a surgical technique used primarily in hair restoration and reconstructive procedures. It involves the insertion of a balloon-like device under the scalp, which is gradually inflated over time to stretch the skin. This creates additional scalp tissue that can be used to cover areas of hair loss or to repair defects.
